Midwest Princess with Joy Woods

Published: Aug. 28, 2024, 8 a.m.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Joy Woods (The Notebook, Little Shop of Horrors). As summer is heading toward its finale, the twins debate what should be crowned \u201cSong of the Summer.\u201d Chappell? Sabrina? Or maybe\u2026 \u201cMy Days.\u201d The dazzling Broadway star Joy Woods joins in the conversation with fresh takes of her own, then walks us through her own days at The Notebook. Highlights include the summer camp experience of the show\u2019s premiere in Chicago as well as hearing Ingrid Michaelson\u2019s score for the first time. Joy recalls the recent performance in which the set lost power (and Connor was in attendance) during the climax of her eleven o\u2019clock number. Y\u2019all are lucky she was warm! We hear about the company-wide game of The Traitors as organized by friend of the pod Ryan Vasquez, and our hearts are warmed by the leadership of Maryann Plunkett and Dorian Harewood after opening night. Joy speaks of her early years watching So You Think You Can Dance, high school theatre, and AMDA year while working at Juniors. We chat about Joy\u2019s time as Audrey in Little Shop opposite Matt Doyle and Jeremy Jordan, as well as being the first replacement to join the cast of Six on Broadway. We look ahead to Joy\u2019s upcoming turn as Sarah in Ragtime at NYCC. And what\u2019s next for Ms Woods? We can only imagine it\u2019ll be extraordinary!
